Ubuntu 9 How to automount NTFS drive?
Okay, so I'm comming back to linux, so I'm going through all the pains I did before, except this time around it seems everything autoconfigs alot better, ntfs is supported by default, graphics drivers auto install etc etc. But, now that this is the case, my old instructions for automounting my ntfs drives dont seem to make much sense. How should I go about doing this now?
Thanks MJ |
checkout fstab

MY FSTAB is:

so what are the paramaters that I should add to make it auto mount? ... I'm not seing an sda# in my /dev folder... Thanks for any help... MJ |

The parameters are auto (I think this is default) instead of noauto. The whole entry should look something like: Code:
/dev/diskid /media/data ntfs-3g auto 0 0 |
I'm talking about when I just double click on the disk from 'Places' which uses whatever ubuntu comes with by default. That is why it is not in the fstab. I need to add it to the fstab, do I need to go about creating a directory and all that? Also, how do I find out where it is in /dev?
Thanks again, MJ |
How about trying this:
- Double click it as you did. - Then run the command "mount" - take what you've learned from mount and apply it to fstab |

mkdir /media/data |
Okay thanks, does this look right?

Looks good to me. Just make sure /media/Data (Capitol D exists) and without the "()" around the options'

Okay, should work. Installing XP on Virtual Box so wont be able to reboot until thats done.
Thanks :) |
